Inspiration for Blog

Hello Internet or should I say hello world.

To begin my blog let me tell you some of my motivations for doing so. I have always wanted to produce a newsletter as means to keep all of friends and partners in ministry updated on what I am doing in the United States and around the world to gain prayer and financial support I hope you enjoy what you read

When talking to my spiritual father Bill Cummins last spring he recommend that I do so by means of a blog and I never really acted on it until now thank you Bill. There is no more inexpensive way for me to produce a newsletter and get it out to an audience that is bigger then any mailing list that I could produce. Also those of you that read my blog choose to do so as opposed to receiving a piece of mail that you may not want and therefore read thus throwing it away. To that end I am not against that and have done that very thing and may do so in the future. But to restate, if you read this blog you d so because you want to and to all my readers I say thank you.

Another experience that has lead to the creation comes as a result of watching the movie "Julie & Julia” and seeing the effect of her blog. I am not naive enough to not realize that that was a movie and this blog is life. However I do think it is possible to gain readership. To that end I will not know I have readers if you don’t leave feedback and let me know your out there. So please leave as much feedback as possible and I will respond as much as my schedule and/or life allows.

Although the primary goal of this blog is to keep you up-to-date on my ministry, this will also serve as my personal blog so all topics that I want to talk about are fair game and so is your feedback. Thus, you may read things about many of my interest which include but is not limited to God/Scripture/theological thought, news/current event/politics, sports, music, socialization, domestic and international travel, finances, reading.

And as you read this no that I not a liberal, ultra left-wig, blogger who sits in my basement and write things that would be characterized as defamation of character.

To kick the dialogue off let me ask you my readers a question that help in the initial direction pf this blog. I will right about my ministry experiences from this moment forward but are you interested in knowing about past experiences. I have not written about all of them as I will using this blog from this point forward, but I have some and are you interested in hearing about them

My tentative international ministries schedule for 2010 looks this way, Ghana in likely April, Australia sometime after July 15 and Cambodia and another Asian nation in the fall. Your prayers and support are much appreciated.

The reason why this Blog is entitled JBMI Inc is because Jason Brothers Ministries International Inc is my 501c(3) tax exempt charitable organization that donors are able to give to in order it receive a 100% tax deduction for their gifts.

To end my first entry of this blog I must say thank you and all the prayer and financial supports of Jason Brothers Ministries International Inc. through the years you make the ministry possible when you support you do go with me and at times God has allowed me to fill your prayers. Again, thank you
